Hi,&nbsp;

Which Accounts API are you using? Can you provide the payload that you are sending for accounts?

Thanks&nbsp;

Hi, faced with similar issue when trying to GET&nbsp;[https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts](https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts).

I have account in Zoom (User Type -&nbsp;Pro), generate valid JWT (based on my API key and API secret) and send through Postman&nbsp;GET&nbsp;[https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts](https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts)&nbsp;request. In response I have recieved HTTP 401 and message

{  
“code”: 124,  
“message”: “Invalid access token.”  
}

in body. Other requests (e.g. Get List Users) dont return Unauthorized (401) error.

What should I do for avoid 401 error?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Barak,&nbsp;

Could you post your API payload so that we can take a look?

Thanks
